AFAIK, Windows 7 is like vista, all is virtualised.
When you create a file in HOME() it actually is created in:

c:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9\
(at least here on my computer with Vista)

A little test:

m1 = HOME()+[TestHomeDBF]
CREATE TABLE (m1) (Fld1 I)

Then search this DBF :-)
